1. Who We Are
Kalpana Consulting Services, Inc. (“Kalpana,” “KCS,” “we,” “us”) operates kalpanaconsultants.com to share information about our executive advisory and consulting services, publications, thought leadership, events, and related offerings. For privacy questions or requests, please use our Contact & Inquiries form.
2. Information We Collect
When you contact us, we collect the information you choose to provide, which may include your name, email address, organization, phone number, inquiry category, and message. If you use scheduling, book-purchase, or publishing links, those services collect information under their own terms and privacy notices. Our hosting and security providers may process technical information such as IP address, device/browser details, timestamps, and security signals needed to operate and protect the website.
3. How We Use Information
Respond to inquiries, schedule conversations, evaluate potential engagements, and administer business communications.
Process speaking, media, book-related, bulk-order and general inquiries.
Maintain site security, prevent spam or misuse, diagnose technical issues, and comply with legal obligations.
Send marketing or publication updates only when you separately and affirmatively choose to receive them; a contact inquiry alone is not an enrollment in a mailing list.
4. Services and Sharing
The website uses Cloudflare for web hosting and security, Jotform to collect and store inquiry submissions, and Calendly for appointment scheduling. Inquiry notifications and responses may be handled through our designated business email service. External links may lead to third-party platforms such as booksellers, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Substack. Their processing is governed by their respective policies. We do not sell submitted inquiry information. We may disclose information to service providers supporting the above purposes, when legally required, or in connection with a legitimate organizational transaction subject to applicable law.
5. Cookies, Analytics, and External Content
The website and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies necessary for core functions, security, fraud prevention, or embedded form and scheduling services. Additional analytics, tracking pixels, advertising technology, or embedded third-party media may require separate notices or choices depending on the final implementation and applicable law.
6. Retention and Security
We keep inquiry data only for as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain appropriate business records, comply with applicable law, or resolve disputes, and then delete or de-identify it when appropriate. Access is limited to authorized personnel and service providers. We use reasonable safeguards, but no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
7. Your Choices and Privacy Requests
You may ask us to review, correct, or delete personal information submitted directly to us, subject to applicable exceptions and legal obligations. Where applicable law provides additional privacy rights, we will respond in accordance with that law. Contact us through our Contact & Inquiries form and provide enough information for us to locate your inquiry. To manage information submitted to an external platform, consult that platform’s own privacy procedures.
8. International Visitors
If you access this website from outside the United States, your information may be processed in the United States or other locations where our service providers operate. Data-protection requirements vary by jurisdiction.
9. Children
Our website is intended for professionals and general adult audiences, and we do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under age 13. If you believe a child has provided such information, please contact us so we can review the request and take appropriate action.
10. Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our website, practices, service providers, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
